Prepare students for real-world pediatric dental radiography with a training system designed specifically for younger patient simulation.

Working with pediatric patients presents unique challenges in dental radiography—smaller oral anatomy, different tooth positioning, and the need for precise technique adaptation. The XR4 Pediatric Radiology Manikin System gives your students hands-on practice with child-sized anatomy before they encounter their first young patient in a clinical setting.

Why Pediatric-Specific Training Matters

Standard adult radiography manikins don't adequately prepare students for the anatomical differences they'll encounter with children. The XR4 system features proportionally accurate pediatric anatomy, allowing students to develop proper sensor placement techniques, cone positioning, and exposure protocols specific to younger patients—skills that directly transfer to clinical competency.

Complete System Components

• XR4 Pediatric X-Ray Model — Anatomically shaped teeth are permanently fixed and feature full pulp chambers and root canals, allowing students to identify normal internal tooth structures on their radiographs. The specialized radiolucent material with calibrated opaque qualities produces realistic image contrast, helping students learn to distinguish between enamel, dentin, pulp, and surrounding structures just as they would on actual patient films.
• FRP Pediatric Head — Durable fiberglass-reinforced plastic construction provides realistic head geometry and radiopaque characteristics, simulating actual tissue density for authentic image results.
• Pediatric Rubber Mask — Soft, lifelike facial features create a realistic patient simulation experience, helping students develop proper chairside manner and technique.
• CBM-3A Hybrid Dental Chair and Bench Mount — Universal glide bar mounting system integrates seamlessly with standard dental operatory chairs, allowing students to practice in the same environment they'll work in professionally.
• Hard Plastic Carrying Case — Protects the x-ray model during storage and transport between lab sessions.

Designed For

This system is ideal for dental hygiene programs, dental assisting courses, and pre-doctoral dental education where pediatric radiography competency is part of the curriculum. It's particularly valuable for institutions seeking to strengthen their pediatric dentistry preparation or expand hands-on training opportunities beyond adult simulation.

Institutional Value

Investing in dedicated pediatric training equipment demonstrates your program's commitment to comprehensive clinical preparation. Students gain confidence with specialized patient populations before graduation, reducing anxiety during early clinical experiences and improving patient care outcomes.
